Top Attractions in East Yorkshire

Hull

Hull, officially Kingston upon Hull, is a city and unitary authority in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It lies on the River Hull at its junction with the Humber estuary, 25 miles inland from the North Sea, with a population of 257,710 . The town of Hull was founded late in the 12th century. The monks of Meaux Abbey needed a port where the wool from their estates could be exported. They chose a place at the junction of the rivers Hull and Humber to build a quay. The exact year the town was founded is not known but it was first mentioned in 1193. Renamed Kings-town upon Hull by King Edward I in 1299, Hull has been a market town, military supply port, trading hub, fishing and whaling centre, and industrial metropolis. Hull was an early theatre of battle in the English Civil Wars. Its 18th-century Member of Parliament, William Wilberforce, played a key role in the abolition of the slave trade in Britain. The city is unique in the UK in having had a municipally owned telephone system from 1902, sporting cream, not red, telephone boxes. After suffering heavy damage in the Second World War, Hull weathered a period of post-industrial decline, gaining unfavourable results on measures of social deprivation, education and policing. In the early 21st-century spending boom before the late 2000s recession the city saw large amounts of new retail, commercial, housing and public service construction spending. Tourist attractions include the historic Old Town and Museum Quarter, Hull Marina and The Deep, a city landmark. The redevelopment of one of Hulls main thoroughfares, Ferensway, included the opening of St. Stephens Hull and the new Hull Truck Theatre. Spectator sports include Championship football and Super League Rugby. The KC Stadium houses Hull City football club and Hull FC rugby club and Craven Park rugby club Hull Kingston Rovers. Hull is also home to the English Premier Ice Hockey League Hull Pirates. In 2013, it was announced that Hull would be the 2017 UK City of Culture.

Beverley

Beverley is a market town, civil parish and the county town of the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. The town is noted for Beverley Minster, Beverley Westwood, North Bar and Beverley Racecourse. Its namesake serves as the origins for the cities of Beverly, Massachusetts, and, in turn, Beverly Hills in California. The town was originally known as Inderawuda and was founded around 700 AD by Saint John of Beverley during the time of the Anglian kingdom of Northumbria. After a period of Viking control, it passed to the Cerdic dynasty, a period during which it gained prominence in terms of religious importance in Great Britain. It continued to grow especially under the Normans when its trading industry was first established. A place of pilgrimage throughout the Middle Ages due to its founder, Beverley eventually became a notable wool-trading town. Beverley was once the tenth-largest town in England, as well as one of the richest, because of its wool and the pilgrims who came to venerate its founding saint, John of Beverley. After the Reformation, the regional stature of Beverley was much reduced. In the 20th century, Beverley was the administrative centre of the local government district of the Borough of Beverley . It is now the county town of the East Riding, located 8 miles north-west of Hull, 10 miles east of Market Weighton and 12 miles west of Hornsea. According to the 2001 United Kingdom census the total population of the urban area of Beverley was 29,110 – of whom 17,549 live within the historic parish boundaries. The population of the parish had risen to 18,624 at the time of the 2011 United Kingdom census. As well as its racecourse and markets, Beverley is known in the modern day for hosting various food and music festivals throughout the year. In 2007 Beverley was named as the best place to live in the United Kingdom in an "Affordable Affluence" study by the Royal Bank of Scotland.

Bridlington

Bridlington is a coastal town and civil parish on the Holderness Coast of the North Sea, situated in the unitary authority and ceremonial county of the East Riding of Yorkshire approximately 24 miles north of Kingston upon Hull. The Gypsey Race river runs through the town and emerges into the North Sea in the town harbour. In the 2011 Census the population of the parish was 35,369. Bridlington is a minor sea fishing port with a working harbour and is well known for its shellfish. It has a mix of small businesses across the manufacturing, retail and service sectors with its prime trade being tourism during the summer months. The origins of the town are uncertain, but archaeological evidence shows habitation in the Bronze Age and in Roman times. The settlement at the Norman Conquest was called Bretlinton, but has also gone by the names of Berlington, Brellington and Britlington, before settling on its modern name in the 19th century. The town is twinned with Millau in France and Bad Salzuflen in Germany. One of the UKs coastal weather stations is located at Bridlington. The Priory Church of St Mary and the associated Bayle Gate are Grade I listed buildings. The church stands on the site of the original Augustine Priory.

Pocklington

Pocklington is a small market town and civil parish situated at the foot of the Yorkshire Wolds in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England, approximately 13 miles east of York. It is common in the area to refer to towns in a highly abbreviated form in casual conversation: thus, Pocklington is commonly referred to as "Pock". Pocklington lies at the centre of the ecclesiastical Parish of Pocklington, which also encompasses the small hamlet of Kilnwick Percy as well as a scattering of outlying farms and houses. Justice is covered by the magistrates district of Wilton Beacon now sitting at Beverley Magistrates Court following the closure of Pocklington Court in George Street. The towns skyline is dominated by a 15th-century tower of All Saints Church. The town’s architecture is a mixture of quaint old houses and modern buildings and the town has several unusual street names reflecting its history from the Iron Age onwards. It is now considered to be a commuter town for the cities of York, Hull and Leeds.

Rudston

Rudston is a small village and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is situated between Driffield and Bridlington approximately 6 miles to the west of Bridlington, and lies on the B1253 road. The Gypsey Race runs through the village, which lies in the Great Wold Valley. There are a number of Neolithic sites associated with the stream and its valley. It is the current Seat of the Clan Macdonald of Sleat. According to the 2011 UK census, Rudston parish had a population of 409, an increase on the 2001 UK census figure of 390. The place-name 'Rudston' is first attested in the Domesday Book of 1086, and means 'rood' or 'cross' stone, referring to the monolith. However, the name 'rud' derives from Old Norse ruð, meaning a clearing or pasture. So the place name could be stone in the clearing, Ruðstane. Nearby Howes of Duggleby and Ba'l also indicate Norse Viking place names rather than Anglo-Saxon origins. Here stands the Rudston Monolith; at over 25 feet tall, it is the tallest standing stone in England, and gave the village its name; it is Grade I listed. Rudston is the centre of an unparalleled grouping of four Neolithic cursus monuments: cursus A, cursus B, cursus C and cursus D. At least one end of each cursus rests on an elevated chalk ridge on the sides of the Great Wold Valley. Cursuses A and C cross the Gypsey Race, whilst the other ends of cursuses B and D probably lie under the village. Rudston Roman villa, noted for its mosaics, was first excavated in 1839. It was subsequently re-excavated in the 1930s, 1960s and 1970s. Rudston Grade I listed Anglican parish church is dedicated to All Saints. Of 14th-century origin, it was restored in 1861 by George Fowler Jones. It contains the gigantic organ, originally of four manuals, given by Sir Alexander McDonald of the Isles. Now a 3 manual instrument, it stands at the west end of the church in the original case. The author Winifred Holtby was born in Rudston and is buried in the church graveyard. Thorpe Hall to the east of the village was designated a Grade II* listed building in 1952 and is now recorded in the National Heritage List for England, maintained by Historic England.

Kirk Ella

Kirk Ella is an urban area on the western outskirts of Kingston upon Hull, approximately 5 miles west of the city centre, situated in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. The place has been a village since at least the 11th century it remained a relatively unimportant hamlet until the 18th and 19th centuries when it became a location of choice for merchants of Hull wishing to live outside the city. Several large houses were built during this period without any substantial increase in village population. After the 1920s the village grew substantially with large amounts of high quality housing surrounding the traditional village centre the village continued to grow during the second half of the twentieth century, becoming a large suburb, contiguous with Anlaby and Willerby. Together with West Ella it forms the civil parish of Kirk Ella and West Ella.

Rudston Monolith

The Rudston Monolith at over 7.6 metres is the tallest megalith in the United Kingdom. It is situated in the churchyard in the village of Rudston in the East Riding of Yorkshire. The nearest source of stone of the type the monolith is made of is 9.9 miles north of the site. It was probably erected around 1600 BC. There is one other smaller stone, of the same type, in the churchyard, which was once situated near the large stone. The Norman church was almost certainly intentionally built on a site which was already considered sacred, a practice which was common through the country, indeed the name of Rudston is thought to come from the Old English "Rood-stane", meaning "cross-stone", implying that a stone already venerated was adapted for Christian purposes. Royston stated that in 1861 during levelling of the church yard an additional 1.5 metres of the monolith was buried. The weight is estimated at 40 tons . Sir William Strickland is reported to have conducted an experiment in the late 18th century determining that there was as much of the stone below ground as is visible above. Strickland found many skulls during his dig and suggests they might have been sacrificial. The top appears to have broken off the stone. If pointed, the stone would originally have stood about 8.5 metres . In 1773, the stone was capped in lead, this was later removed, though the stone is currently capped. Fossilised dinosaur footprints on one side of the stone may have contributed to its importance to those who erected it. The stone is very slender, with two large flat faces. The flat face of the stone faces the midwinter sunrise in the south-east. Lines, created by removing soil and grass from above the turf may have been created in the area, and have been linked to the stone. There are many other earthworks in the area, including burial mounds and Cursuses.

Hornsea Mere

Hornsea Mere is the largest freshwater lake in Yorkshire, England, and lies to the west of Hornsea in the East Riding. It covers an area of 467 acres, is 2 miles long, 0.75 miles at its widest point and 12 feet at its deepest. Hornsea Mere is a centre for bird-watching and a tourist attraction offering rowing, sailing, boat trips and fishing. It is a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest and a Special Protection Area for birds; it accommodates many species throughout the year, and is of international importance for a migratory population of gadwall. Its shallowness results in a diverse range of swamp and fen plants. It was featured in the BBC television programme Seven Natural Wonders. Hornsea Mere is owned by Wassand Hall, situated to the west of the mere, and was purchased by the Halls estate for £50 in the 16th century. The mere is the base for Hornsea Sailing Club.

Warter

Warter is a small village and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is situated approximately 4 miles east of Pocklington on the B1246 road and 18 miles from the city of York. According to the 2011 UK census, Warter parish had a population of 144, a reduction on the 2001 UK census figure of 159. It is the location for Warter Priory which was an Augustine Priory dedicated to St James and founded in 1132 by Geoffrey Fitz-Pain. The chronicler Stephen Eyton was a canon there. It was dissolved in 1536 by Henry VIII. The dimensions of the St James' Church, Warter, cloister, and other buildings and the shape of their roofs were recorded along with details of the vestments and church plate. The church was 40 by 12 yards with a quire of 28 by 9 yards: the cloister 96 yards in circuit and 4 yards in breadth. The parish church of St James was designated a Grade II listed building in January 1967 and is now recorded in the National Heritage List for England, maintained by Historic England. A coppice near the village was the inspiration for the landscape painting Bigger Trees Near Warter by David Hockney.

Market Weighton

Market Weighton is a small town and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is one of the main market towns in the East Yorkshire Wolds and lies midway between Hull and York, about 20 miles from either one. According to the 2011 UK census, Market Weighton parish had a population of 6,429, an increase on the 2001 UK census figure of 5,212. Smith proposed Market Weighton as the location of the still-undiscovered Roman camp of Delgovicia. Historically the town was listed in the Domesday Book as "Wicstun" and was granted its charter to become a market town in 1251. Notable architecture includes: a parish church, parts of which are Norman, the Londesborough Arms, a Wesleyan chapel, a Methodist chapel and a high street still recognisable from the 1800s. Other sights of interest include the post office, the duck pond and Station Farm. Market Weighton history includes William Bradley, the Yorkshire Giant who at the age of 20 was seven feet and nine inches tall. Another resident was Peg Fyfe, a local witch, who reputedly skinned a young local resident alive in the 1660s and was later hanged for the crime, but swallowed a spoon to save herself only to be "finished off" by two passing knights. In May of each year local residents take to the streets of Market Weighton for the Giant Bradley Day festival in a celebration of the life and times of William Bradley. Industry in the town is largely based on agriculture. The town is known geologically for having given its name to the Market Weighton Axis. The Yorkshire Wolds Way National Trail, a long distance footpath, passes through the town.

Sledmere

Sledmere is a village in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England, about 7 miles north-west of Driffield on the B1253 road. Together with the hamlet of Croome it forms the civil parish of Sledmere and Croome. Local points of interest include Sledmere House, a Georgian country house. Built in 1751 by Richard Sykes, the house has remained in the Sykes family since then. It is now the home of Sir Tatton Sykes, 8th baronet. The Sledmere Monument is about 2 miles south-east of the village, along the B1252 road, on top of Garton Hill. It is 120 feet tall and is a tribute to Sir Tatton Sykes, 4th Baronet, built by his friends in 1865. The war memorial in the village, designed by Sir Mark Sykes, 6th baronet, is dedicated to the Wolds Wagoners Reserve, a regiment that Sir Mark raised from the local population to fight in the First World War. It is noted for its unusual shape and its graphic scenes of war and country life. Sledmere is also the site of a replica Eleanor cross: this was designated a Grade II listed building in September 1966. The 'Sledmere Cross' takes the form of an Eleanor Cross and is a true 'folly' that was 'converted' in 1919 to a War Memorial by Sir Mark Sykes who added a series of brass portraits in commemoration of his friends and the local men who fell in the war and also notably himself in crusader armor with the inscription “Laetare Jerusalem (Rejoice Jerusalem)”. East of the village is Sledmere Castle, a folly built around 1790 by John Carr for Sir Christopher Sykes, the 2nd baronet, to enhance the view from Sledmere House. The church of St Mary is one of the churches on the Sykes Churches Trail. In 1966 the church was designated a Grade II* listed building. Sledmere was served by Sledmere and Fimber railway station on the Malton and Driffield Railway between 1853 and 1950.

Kilnsea

Kilnsea is a hamlet in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England, in an area known as Holderness. It is situated approximately 2 miles south of the village of Easington, on the north bank of the Humber Estuary. The hamlet forms part of the civil parish of Easington. East of Kilnsea is the Grade II listed First World War concrete acoustic mirror used as an early warning device. Kilnsea has one public house, the Crown and Anchor. In 1823 Kilnsea was a civil parish in the Wapentake and Liberty of Holderness. The parish church, dedicated to Saint Helen, was close to the cliff and in a "state of dilapidation" and "dangerous condition". Repairs were considered usless with the expectation that the sea, which had already swept away the graveyard, would take the church "in a short time". Population in 1823 was 196.

Saltmarshe

Saltmarshe is a hamlet in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It forms part of the civil parish of Laxton, and is situated on the north bank of the River Ouse, approximately 3 miles south-east from Howden and 21 miles south-east from the county town of York. Saltmarshe lies within the Parliamentary constituency of Haltemprice and Howden an area that mainly consists of middle class suburbs, towns and villages. The area is affluent, placed as the 10th most affluent in the country in a Barclays Private Clients survey, and has one of the highest proportions of owner-occupiers in the country. Saltmarshe Hall is a Grade II* listed 19th-century country house on the western edge of the hamlet. Saltmarshe railway station is on the Sheffield to Hull Line. It is named after Saltmarshe, but is 1 mile to the north near the village of Laxton.

Skidby Windmill

Skidby Windmill is a Grade II* listed working windmill at Skidby near Beverley, in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. Originally built in 1821, the mill was further extended to its current 5 stories in 1870. It is powered by 4 sails, 11 metres in length, and was in commercial use until 1966. Between 1954 and 1966 the mill was used for grinding animal feedstuff using newly installed electric rollers but also continued producing stoneground flour, too. The mill was sold to the local council in 1969 for £1 and after being renovated was opened in 1974 as a working museum. It is the last working English windmill north of the Humber, producing stoneground wholemeal flour from locally grown wheat. The mill is open to visitors all week, milling takes place from Wednesday to Sunday weather permitting. Adjacent warehouses contain the Museum of East Riding Rural Life, including a famous Wolds Wagon built by P.H. Sissons Sons, which was originally lent to the Beverley Army Museum of transport. P.H. Sissons Sons were based at Beswick and built wagons from 1854 onwards. In 2008, work began on the mill to replace some structural members in the cap and fantail. The work involved the 15 ton cap being removed by a crane; the only time that the cap has been removed since the 1870s.

Hedon

Hedon is a small town and civil parish in Holderness in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is situated approximately 5 miles east of Hull city centre. It lies to the north of the A1033 road at the crossroads of the B1240 and B1362 roads. It is particularly noted for the parish church of St. Augustine, known as the King of Holderness, which is a Grade I listed building. According to the 2011 UK census, Hedon parish had a population of 7,100, an increase on the 2001 UK census figure of 6,322. Hedon is not mentioned in the Domesday Book which leads to the belief that it was a new town created by the Normans as a port. Hedon was at its most prosperous in the 12th and 13th centuries and at one time was the 11th largest port in England. The decline of the port came with the development of the port of Hull and the building of larger ships which were unable to get up the small river to Hedon. Hedon was given its first charter by Henry II in 1158 and was granted improved ones by King John in 1200 and Henry III in 1248 and 1272. Edward III granted the most important charter which gave the town the right to elect a mayor. In 1415 Hedon was granted an important charter, which let the town have burgesses and other ministers and also gave the town a mace. This mace is now the oldest surviving mace in the country. The town was a parliamentary borough until it was disenfranchised under the Reform Act 1832. It still enjoyed its borough status granted by its charters until 1974 when it was removed in a reorganisation of local government. To the west of the town, there used to be a racecourse which boasted the longest straight in the country at the time. After popularity waned, it was developed into an aerodrome in 1910. This was closed in both world wars but many famous pilots including Amy Johnson landed there. After the Second World War it was developed into a speedway track for a short time but is now home to cattle. The Hull and Holderness Railway opened in 1854 which ran from Victoria Dock in Hull to Withernsea going through Hedon. The station was built to the north of the town and it proved a vital part of Hedons transport system for a century. In 1965 Hedon lost its passenger service when British Railways appointed Lord Beeching to stop losses, and closed branch lines that werent making a profit. The line from Hull as far as Hedon station remained open for Goods traffic until 1968. Hedon became the subject of national media attention in August 2000 when a freak mini-tornado in the Humber Estuary caused flash floods and even hailstones to drop on parts of the town. Hedon was also affected by the widespread floods that occurred in the UK in the summer of 2007. The areas of Hedon affected included the Inmans Estate and most areas near the Burstwick drain. The nearby village of Burstwick was the worst affected place in the East Riding of Yorkshire. There have recently been plans to create a country park around the Hedon Haven to the south of the town. The English potter, Dorothy Marion Campbell was born here. Sir Alexander Campbell, PC, KCMG, QC was also born here; he was a Canadian statesman and politician, and a father of Canadian Confederation.
